The Way Love's
CVII

Morning is back. A long night had just been passed with great struggle. Fear and anxiety pervade a heart that has just been threatened.

The sunlight that entered through the gap of the curtain made Sya sit quietly beside the bed. He still could not sleep well after the threat arrived. Feeling like being watched makes Sya reluctant to do anything.

Luphas saw the still daydreaming Sya. His feet were wrapped in a thick blanket. The dominant room in white makes Sya so visible.

The feeling of Lufas cannot be lied to. He was afraid to leave in solitude. Only work awaits him. It was impossible if he had to continuously lock himself up with Sya.

With a heavy feeling the Luphas drew near to Sya. Lufas' hand held Sya's shoulder, slowly so that Sya would not be surprised.

Even though Lufas was already so slow. Still she flinched. He looked at Lufas who was standing beside him. Without a second thought, she immediately hugged the sturdy body.

"Don't leave me," she said.

Luphas released his embrace and sat down beside him. The fearful look in Sya's eyes made Lufas almost waver again.

"Listen to me. I just went to work for a while. After that I'll be back."

He shook his head quickly. He grasped the Lufas so tightly.

"What if he comes and hurts me. He threatened me."

"Do you feel like you have an enemy here?" ask Lufas later.

She returned to shakes. In Sya's mind right now there's only Anna's name. Anna was the one who wanted to get rid of Sya. However, he did not want to tell Lufas. After all the Lufas still had ties to Anna at the moment.

"Ben will be here as long as I'm in the office."

"alright. At least I'm not alone here."

Luphas stroked Sya's head, then he kissed Sya's forehead. He just kept quiet.

"I'll let you know if anything happens at the office."

"Yes." Yeah."

Inevitably Sya eventually drove Lufas out of the apartment. His mind went somewhere. Until the moment in front of the door Sya directly hugged Lufas from behind.

"Are you really going?"

"Yes. You're not a kid anymore. Ben was on his way here, too. Be patient."

"I was afraid of myself and returned to terror. That's very troubling."

"I knew. It's just that I have other responsibilities as well. I'll come back to you later."

"It's very difficult to feel" said Sya.

Lufas. He looked at Sya intently and then said, "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Come in the room. Ben's coming soon."

Then he went back in and locked himself in the room. If it was Anna who sent him, Sya felt the need to meet.

Inside the elevator Lufas looks so busy with a cell phone in his hand. Until someone walks in and greets her kindly.

"Morning."

Lufas turned his head and looked at the old grandmother. "By the morning, Grandma."

"Are you going to work?"

Lufas nodded.

"What about your wife?" Ask the grandmother to Luphas.

The question immediately made Lufas understand if the grandmother was the one who sent the cake to Sya.

"He's home, Grandma."

"Is he alone?" Ask grandma again.

Lufas nodded.

"I told him not to be alone. Pregnant people should not be alone."

Lufas' eyes are rounded. Just now she heard the word pregnant from the grandmother.

"What does grandma mean?"

"Your wife is pregnant. Don't you know that?"

Lufas presses the elevator button to open. He would meet with Sya and ask her the news himself. At this moment Lufas' heart was so chaotic.

Sya who heard the sound of the apartment bell hurriedly opened it. He thought that Ben had arrived, but when he opened the door Lufas stood with a sharp look.

"Is there anything left?" Ask Sya.

Without a word Luphas came forward and immediately strangled Sya's neck. Trouble Sya tried to release Luphas' hand. The power of Lufas is so great. He was stuck in the wall and had difficulty breathing.

"Are you pregnant?" Ask Lufas.

"What are you doing?!" Ben approached and immediately released Lufas' hand from Sya.

She sat down weakly while coughing. Still, I am grateful for Ben's arrival. If not, I don't know what will happen next.

"Why did you do this to me?" Ask Ben.

Lufas stared intently at Sya. She looked down scared.

"She was pregnant but didn't tell me."

Ben looked at Sya.

"What right?"

This time I did not hide it anymore. Sya nodded her head.

"Remove that content," Lufas said with a cold face.

Sya shakes.

"If no. I'm not going back to you."

Luphas left without looking at Sya. Sya was devastated when she found out that Lufas rejected the baby she contained.

Ben couldn't bear to see Sya. He approached and pushed Sya onto the sofa. After that, give him a drink.

"Do you feel better?" Ask Ben.

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

"How many months have you been pregnant?"

"Two months' walk."

Ben took a long breath. He doesn't know what to do at the moment.

"Why did he reject my son?"

"Actually from the beginning he did not want to have children. He was afraid that his son would be born and know who his father was. The boy will be ashamed and go away from him."

"Is that the only reason?"

"Yes. For Lufas the mafia is a bad job."

"Why would he do it?"

"I don't know. Right now, take care of yourself and your baby. I'll try to persuade Lufas. Wish he'd take your son."

Ben came out of Sya's apartment. Leaving Sya alone for the ridiculous reason of Lufas. For Him that reason is so ridiculous. Just because he's a mobster, he doesn't want to have kids.

***

A small house in the middle of a forest full of wild plants. Lufas sat down with tears that had just dripped. He feels bad about the current situation.

Anybody who wants to kill their own child. What else is clear if the child will be born later. Lufas doesn't know what to do at the moment. He wants to be a father, but he doesn't want his son to experience the same.

A red car appeared and stopped in front of Lufas. Ben came down and sat down beside Luphas. He did not forget to give her water.

"What did Shay?"

"He will defend the boy. For you."

"You already know my reason, Ben."

"She also has no other reason than to look after him."

Lufas silence.

"Don't get too attached to the past. Don't you want to stop. It's time to stop. Make the family you dream of" Lufas said.

"They still need me."

"That's not a strong reason. You've made Sya like this. Be accountable. Don't be a coward."

Lufas thinks Ben's right. He had been out of the mafia for a long time. This was indeed a good time, but Lufas still felt so attached to that world.

"I didn't ask you to just leave. Slowly, you will get better later. Now you're also famous for being a young businessman."

"How will my son be?"

"They'll take you. Believe it."

"Can you go. I want to be alone first."

"Yes. Think well, everything needs a process. Nothing is instant."

Ben got into the car and hit the gas. Lufas himself thought of everything. The consequences if he quit the mafia world are numerous. Even He could be in danger later.
